Origin
Summary
I am writing to request your support in directing Traffic Operations Staff to install a speed hump on Lonsdale Road between Oriole Road and Oriole Parkway.
Local residents and concerned parents have reached out to my office and have consulted with Traffic Operations, advising that this intersection should have additional traffic calming measures. The unusual nature of this intersection has been a source of strain for the community since a child was hit by a car there while walking home from school in 2021.
